Re: Painful urination

[Guest guest]

Hi Darla,

So sorry that Elise has this awful problem as well.

I have this most of the time and bladder spasms as well, especially at

night. Have tried all types of meds for this without much help. It usually

is accompanied by vulvo vaginitis as well, sometimes with ulceration. Keep

this in mind regarding Elise, some of the topical cortisone and antibiotic

mix ointments have helped this `spondy glitch' and also helps with

urethritis.

I have been taking Detrol for 5 months now for urinary

inflammation, urgency, frequency, bladder pain, leakage, etc. It

is just short of being a miracle drug for me. Most of the urinary

tract symptoms are controlled or at least lessened. I become

greatly agitated and anxious from urinary tract symptoms without

the Detrol.

Elavil (amytriptyline), an antidepressant, can help with urinary

distress, but can cause many more negative side-effects. I

discovered this accidentally when prescribed Elavil for a sleep

disorder. THis was several years ago. At that time the urologist

I was seeing had not heard of this effect. Since then it has been

well-documented. Other medications, especially antidepressants,

may have similar effects.

Hi Darla, I have had bladder probllems since I developed RS about 12 years ago.

Some are typical of RS and some are not. I have had frequent infections. Elise

should first be checked for a Urinary Tract infection. You also might want a

referral to a pediatric urologist if it continues to be a problem. My daughter

was on Ditropan when she was small for control of bladder spasms. It might be

useful. Also in school they are not always very accomadating about letting

children use the restroom whenever they need to. That was a problem for my

daughter in middle school. I had a note in her file to let her use the restroom

as needed. A teacher actually called her urologist (without my permission)

trying to get information on the problem I found that very disturbing. Of

course, he didn't get anywhere with the doctor's office. Anyway, take the

symptoms seriously. Also you can get the dip sticks to check for infection on

the Internet. You only need the ones that show leukocytes and nitrates. Good

luck with the problem.

We had this in two of our NT boys when they were under 5 , I ended up using a barrier cream on them, like a calendular baby balm. The balm stopped the wee hitting the inflammed skin and it healed within a few days. In their cases they had caused it by pulling on their foreskin.

This may be a symptom of an oxalate problem

Here is a list of possible symptoms a child with autism might have if they have

this problem:
